East Montana Middle

Summary:

East Montana Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 569 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Clint Independent School District, which is ranked 614 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Montana Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 37.06% of 6th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 54.45% statewide. The school has a very high percentage of students (over 84%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, East Montana Middle has a sizable population of English Language Learner (ELL) students and special education students, both of which perform poorly compared to their peers across Texas.

When comparing East Montana Middle to other nearby middle schools in the Socorro Independent School District, such as Col John O Ensor Middle and Special Rafael Hernando Middle, it becomes clear that East Montana Middle is an outlier in terms of academic performance, with these neighboring schools consistently outperforming it on STAAR tests and having higher SchoolDigger ratings. However, East Montana Middle has maintained a very low dropout rate, which is a positive indicator, and the school's Gifted and Talented students perform relatively better, ranking in the middle of Texas middle schools for this subgroup.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote It was a good school, not the best. The teachers were great at most things in and out of their subject. The students yet rodey, they were passionate about many subjects. The school in general was a pleasure to attend. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
